Bentleyville Sets New Attendance Record in 2017

Duluth Mayor Emily Larson thanked Bentleyville founder Nathan Bentley today on social media after another successful year of the holiday lighting attraction.

Larson announced that 320,000 people visited this year, that would make it the biggest year yet. Last year 292,000 people visited Bentleyville.

Larson said, " I loved being in my office and watching out the window every night at 5pm when it came to life - knowing there were people waiting to go inside and take a break from whatever stress the season brings. And that there were dozens of volunteers working every night to help them have a good time."
